I recently got a sample of this perfume and I was extremely excited to try it since I love the smell of rain but I have very mixed reviews of itFor first thoughts Iād give it a 3/10, upon first spraying it on my skin I noticed it gave me a burning sensation which is something I havenāt had with a perfume yet so it was a little off setting.For the smell itself it was very woody and earthy on my skin and I didnāt really get a ārainyā vibe from it and I thought it gave off a very heavy masculine scent, so I definitely wouldnāt use it if thatās not what youāre going for. While I donāt think itās a feminine leaning perfume I honestly liked it as a more masculine scent I think some people may like it very much.For longevity I was both amazed and scared at how ...Ā MoreI recently got a sample of this perfume and I was extremely excited to try it since I love the smell of rain but I have very mixed reviews of itFor first thoughts Iād give it a 3/10, upon first spraying it on my skin I noticed it gave me a burning sensation which is something I havenāt had with a perfume yet so it was a little off setting.For the smell itself it was very woody and earthy on my skin and I didnāt really get a ārainyā vibe from it and I thought it gave off a very heavy masculine scent, so I definitely wouldnāt use it if thatās not what youāre going for.

After trying it I decided it was to strong for me and not a scent I liked on myself so naturally I went to go wash it off in the shower only to still be haunted by it. Even after using 4 different body washes and a body scrub I still CANNOT get the scent of the perfume off of the patch on my arm where I sprayed it and now the smell haunts me even after a lengthy shower and many hours. Although if you do want a perfume with lasting power this would be perfect for you as I now believe it is close to impossible to get off.Overall while I didnāt personally enjoy the scent I think if youāre looking for something thatās woody, earthy, and masculine and that also has a long lasting time this would be perfect for you to try!!

I think fragrance reviews are pretty funny because everyone experiences scent very differently. I would always recommend to judge for yourself, or find a fragrance reviewer who likes similar fragrances to you. For me, "When the Rain Stops" was a KNOCKOUT. For context I love scents that are sweet and clean on top with a musky drydown. Think Glossier You with it's peppery sweet top notes and ambrox. "When the Rain Stops" is not a dupe for "You" I think it's almost like a "grownup" version of it with way better longevity (the sillage isn't great, but that's personal preference. I tend to prefer my scent bubble to be on the smaller side). It's warmer and more nuanced. There are some reviewers disappointed that this isn't a "laundry" scent as the name sort of implies, ...Ā MoreI think fragrance reviews are pretty funny because everyone experiences scent very differently.

I can't get enough of it!And for those who hate rose scents (like me) don't be afraid! The rose is very subtle and blends incredibly well with the other notes, making more of a bouquet rather than an overpowering single scent.The only tiny negative thing I would say is that the juice is basically clear, not violet which would have been a lot prettier on my shelf!

Maison Margiela has done it again: perfectly captured the fragrance name within the actual fragrance! When I was gifted this fragrance from Maison Margiela & Influenster, I immediately judged it by the name: āI already know this isnāt gonna be for me.ā When they say donāt judge a book by its cover, BELIEVE THEM, lol! I was like I do not want to smell like āoutsideā(if you know, you know lol), but this is outside in the best way possible! When I removed the cellophane , I got a whiff of the fragrance & was like thereās no way thatās the fragrance lol sprayed it on my hand & it was! Both my boo & I (we were in the car lol) immediately loved it & agreed that it was perfectly unisex. Once I gave it a full wear, I appreciated it even more! What I picked up immediately ...Ā MoreMaison Margiela has done it again: perfectly captured the fragrance name within the actual fragrance!

Both my boo & I (we were in the car lol) immediately loved it & agreed that it was perfectly unisex. Once I gave it a full wear, I appreciated it even more! What I picked up immediately was rose, but a fresh, dewy, slightly green rose scent, similar to the scent of a rose bush āwhen the rain stopsā *wink wink* lol As it starts to dry down, I do start to get a tinnyyyy bit of that āoutsideā scent I mentioned, but just enough to further transport you to that moment after the rain. At this point, I get a bit of an earthy, grassy scent, similar to how damp grass and soil smell after the rain. Along with that, it has this luxe quality that adds some warmth to the fragrance & gives it that āperfumeā scent (lol) which keeps the fragrance from smelling too much like nature. Overall, Iād categorize this as a fresh fragrance; however, it has a soft, luxurious warmth thatād make it perfect for year round. Unisex, leaning toward whichever gender is the wearer. About 8 hour longevity & moderate (arms reach) projection throughout the wear. I LOVE & am so happy to have been gifted it because I honestly probably would have never tried it :/ Donāt be like me, guys lol!

The best thing about Replica fragrances is not the strong staying power (oh, they stay) but how the various notes of the fragrance tend to come through as the day goes on. I love the scent of this perfume much later in the day than in the beginning. If you apply it at night for dinner, it's gone by the morning. If you spritz your shirt, it will stay even after a wash or two, which I like personally.I have always loved more feminine scents, and this one is probably the heaviest I own now. I would definitely call this unisex, but the appearance of the packaging has feminine qualities. I also have Autumn Vibes, which is definitely my preferred scent of the two. Beach Walk is the closest to what I might usually buy, but I somehow decided that since I'm past 30, I need ...Ā MoreThe best thing about Replica fragrances is not the strong staying power (oh, they stay) but how the various notes of the fragrance tend to come through as the day goes on.

Beach Walk is the closest to what I might usually buy, but I somehow decided that since I'm past 30, I need a couple sophisticated, deeper scents. I trusted the process on that one. These are also the most aesthetically pleasing perfumes you can buy if you like minimalistic packaging.Overall, I'd recommend this one. Most of their perfumes are far too heavy and lean too far into one kind of scent, this one is good all around, everyday. I bought it in December, so it will always remind me of winter. Definitely more suited for colder months and sweaters, in my opinion.
I love perfumes and I get a sample every time I have the chance. I chose this one with my last purchase because I was very curious about the name (I love the smell off the air when the rain stops, so I needed to try this one) I felt a little disappointed because the scent doesnāt remind me of that at all, but it is a beautiful scent, and thatās why I give it three stars and not less.PROS- It has a decent longevity on me.- I have a sample but I find the bottle so beautiful.CONS- I find it too expensive for an eau de toilette, although it is quite long lasting.- I donāt find it fresh as described, but quite earthy/woody. I can smell the patchouli over any other described notes, which makes it quite intense IMO.- I donāt find this particular scent as unisex.

In fact, I consider this the perfect scent for my father, and please donāt get me wrong, it is because I find it not only masculine, but intensely sophisticated and I understand everyone that loves this perfume. I really like it but not for me.I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador
Maison Margiela scents are certainly special, not just regarding scent. If this were perfume were named anything else, I highly doubt I wouldāve even smelt it or liked it as much as I do. The name reminds me of such a niche moment in my life; being back home with my grandparents, the smell of rain after a rainfall in the beginning of spring. I was only 9, but oh what I would do to relive those moments. Unfortunately, thatās impossible, but I think this perfume might be the next best thing. This scent reminds me of such a great memory that Iāll never be able to relive but at least Iām able to smell it through this. Hopefully one day when I make new memories with someone special, Iāll make similar connections to scents like āLazy Sunday Morningā or āBeach Walkā, but ...Ā MoreMaison Margiela scents are certainly special, not just regarding scent.

When I first smelled this on paper in store, I hated it! I was so confused by it was named, the notes, and how someone could like it. I was glad I tried it again, on my skin, at a different store, because something must have been up with the first sampler/paper. It has a fresh hit of rain/petrichor on first spray that dies down, then comes back into the dry down. On my skin it goes away for the first 30min-hr, so I like to layer it with my little splash of Demeter Thunderstorm, I feel the two play really well together and the timing of them are perfect. For my nose, the rose, jasmine, moss, and pine all tuck themselves neatly into the green and water notes while wearing. If you tried really hard to decipher them and someone said those where the scents, I could tell ...Ā MoreWhen I first smelled this on paper in store, I hated it!

If you tried really hard to decipher them and someone said those where the scents, I could tell they were in there, but while wearing it I just get these nice waves of bright springtime rain, which is lovely.I only bought the travel size because I find the full size MM Replica sprays get too strong for me, they tend to be pretty big. I find the sillage on this one particularly bigger than some of the "warmer" woody scents, and it lasts longer on skin too. If you notice it go away, try layering it or spraying on your clothes (my cleavage is the best spot!)
I was looking for a new perfume after Nest discontinued my favorite (RIP midnight fleur)- now, this smells absolutely nothing like MF to be clear!! But I took a sniff of this on tester paper & was instantly transported. It smelled so fresh & clean, & somehow smelled exactly like the perfume my mom wore constantly in the 90s (I later found out that scent was Beautiful by SJP lol). It does have a bit of that natural rain smell, which I love. I sprayed it on my wrist & it dries down into a very different scent on me that I love. It smells warm, inviting & clean. Given how different the first whiff is from the actual long wear, I would really recommend trying it on yourself prior to buying. I bought the .34 tester & itās lasted me a very long time because I find one ...Ā MoreI was looking for a new perfume after Nest discontinued my favorite (RIP midnight fleur)- now, this smells absolutely nothing like MF to be clear!!

I bought this around its release almost a year ago and since then itās become mygo to fragrance. The marketing definitely reeled me in, but it was the notes of patchouli and rose that made me stay. I love clean and fresh scents, but I also love a lot of heart (black opium illicit green is another fave of mine) this perfume combines the best of both.Before this scent came along, I was really into Under the Lemon Trees, Lazy Sunday, and Armani Acqua di Giola. I like to put it on after a shower. It smells kind of masculine, but I like that about it. It makes me feel comforted and chic at the same time.
I received this fragrance a few weeks ago complimentary from Influenster and I am very happy they did! Iāve been testing it out in various settings, home, work, outings. I am a big fan of this fragrance. I have tried other scents from replica, however none of them have lasted as long or warranted as many compliments as this one. When the rain stops smells exactly how it sounds, like a fresh evening after a thunderstorm, when the water is fresh and the flowers are happy and wet. It is very aquatic, green and fresh! For those ladies that prefer something soft, this may not be for you, but I have layered it with other fragrances and I do appreciate the versatility, however this fragrance is described as unisex and can be worn by him, her, or they. I highly recommend ...Ā MoreI received this fragrance a few weeks ago complimentary from Influenster and I am very happy they did! Iāve been testing it out in various settings, home, work, outings.
